I think the higher functioning they see is the right road to take because when we have to, we get out there and do what we feel we must do, and that's what it's all about. I don't see a whole lot to understand about being more or less anxious; everyone has better and worse days or times. One wants to duplicate the better times as much as possible I think. Sometimes practice is all it takes; if we bought cat food, a can a day, buying cat food would eventually not be anxiety provoking. A lot of anything is habit I think.
